Sphingosylphosphorylcholine is a ligand for ovarian cancer G-protein-coupled receptor 1

Abstract: Sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) is a bioactive lipid that acts as an intracellular and extracellular signalling molecule in numerous biological processes. Many of the cellular actions of SPC are believed to be mediated by the activation of unidentified G-protein-coupled receptors. Here we show that SPC is a high-affinity ligand for an orphan receptor, ovarian cancer G-protein-coupled receptor 1 (OGR1). In OGR1-transfected cells, SPC binds to OGR1 with high affinity (Kd = 33.3 nM) and high specificity and tra… Show more

“…All members of the OGR1 family are activated by lysophospholipids and are coupled to G␣ q or G␣ i heterotrimeric G proteins (57). It is interesting to note that several other members of the OGR1 family, including OGR1 and G2A, have been implicated as mediators of growth arrest and apoptosis (52,58). Like TDAG8, other members of the OGR1 family have only recently been paired with their ligands.…”

“…On the other hand, it should be noted that the hitherto cloned receptors with high a nity for SPP all have low a nity for SPPC (Lynch & Im, 1999), and the opposite holds true for the only cloned receptor with high a nity for SPPC (Xu et al, 2000). Moreover, the a nity of SPH and GLU for either group of receptors is either low or has not been determined, and thus it remains unclear whether they can cause receptor-mediated e ects.…”

“…In this category, we included three GPCRs that share a high degree of sequence identity with G2A: TDAG8 (14), GPR4 (15), and OGR1 (16). We also included in our analysis eight other GPCRs with specificity toward LPA and S1P, two extensively studied LPs structurally related to LPC (reviewed in ref.…”
